Psoul:


I never attacked your family. I don't know how ppl make haste to talk and also fail to keep track of their words.

You are angry cos ur family is mentioned. You fail to realize that my response was according to question u asked while quoting me.

You asked me if I can mention up to 100 ppl in my community that married out of love, my own FAMILY INCLUSIVE. Go back and check ur comment.

My response was, if you can ask this kind of question, it might be that u came from a broken home or a home devoid of parental love for you not to have experience love in a family. Now show me the insult in my response.

Let me still tell u. No person that comes from a family where his parents love themselves so much, will ask that kind of question u asked. Take it or leave it.

We are FINE in my family. I have nothing else to say to u.

this the internal excuse men give themselves to cheat and the excuse women give themselves to stay in a loveless, abusive marriage.
Backward people!

Nigeria has a food supply problem.
A government problem.
An education problem.
Property problem.

So the answer is throwing children at it. grin

This country is doomed.

It will be wrong to conclude this as the onle reason people get married. What about companionship?? ...especially in Ur old age. People marry for diverse reasons and maybe to some children might be considered as one of the major reasons..

In Africa where culture matters, the one and pnly cardinal reason for marriage is children everyother thing is ephemeral.

Companionship? someone to talk to at home, share intimate gist, share life experiences on daily basis, eat with, go out with etc?
Then what else is family?

So you prefer to give birth to children and live in misery all your life than to marry who you love adopt children and have at least a mixture of happiness and misery in your life.
My question to you, please answer with sincerity. Can you adopt a child knowing fully well you are able to father one?

Because of religion and upbringing, making learning about sex education taboo and culture of having as many kids as possible.

A society that makes information a taboo is a doomed society.

Which Asia?

Asians aren't having 5/6 children anymore. Only Africans are foolish enough to do such in the age of contraceptives.

Stupid people.

Bros it's so alarming and asides people complaining about Buhari, I think we also need to focus our attention at alarming rate at which people give birth in this country particularly the poor who have next to nothing having as much as 4-5 children

Well the earth is over-populated already and death rate is reducing. Everyother part of the world have accepted this, now reducing their birth rate, creating awareness for birth control, abortion is widely practiced and some men in the west get vasectomy on them selves. Africa and middle east are the only exception, it's worst in Africa, Nigeria esp, our population will grow twice the size by 2035, it's going to be horrible, more crimes will be commited and there would be a massive fall in economy, poverty will be wide spread.
I myself don't plan on bringing any kids to this horrible world and I don't think anyone else should but like if you really want a kid, ONE should be enough, for the sake of our planet and it's future inhabitants.

My Gee two fingers in the air for you. I have said some of the things you wrote up there to different people here but no one cares to listen. Nigeria will never adopt such an approach even the young ones won't. How will a poor man who earns next to nothing expect to live a reasonable and fulfilled life when he has 6 kids to cater for. I feel the government needs to take a stand it will be hard for any government to achieve any reasonable development if our population continues to rise.

Have we fared any better under the series of looters who have ruled us? The whites have compassion for one another not so with a black man

That's applicable to some men not all men. At my age I still enjoy my single life and won't want to bring anyone to disturb my peace in the name of marriage, I keep to myself a lot and I cherish it and won't want any 'intruder'. Maybe when I desire I should have kids I would.

Bruh. Whenever I tell people this they laugh and reply with the " I'll have as much kids as I want" , " the bible says be friutful and multiply", "Who will continue your lineage" . I swear to god it annoys the shit out of me, these people have no idea what they are doing. More than half our population are illitrates and irresponsible, they have poor parenting skills but they act as if they are doing the world a favour by bringing kids… I'm only glad I wont have any offspring to suffer all of the damage that will be caused.

But as regards getting married you might change your mind as time goes on maybe you will just settle for a kid
